How can I set up monitoring of my Looker instance's health via the API?

Looker responds to /alive with an http 200 status code if it is up. This can be used for load balancers and such to do health checks. We recently added /availability which does the same thing, but exercises more of Looker's internals while also returning a human readable page. It will say "Looker is up" if all is well.
